5. Everyone loves Pooh bear and friends...which character are you most like and why? Click here for help in answering this question.According to the 100 Acre Personality Quiz I am most like Kanga. Not very exciting.

"How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said." Victor Hugo

8. Insert your own random thought here. It's Wednesday and that means DoodleBug and the gang will be over for our weekly dinner. I bought gluten free pizza crusts and toppings so they can all make their own individual pizzas. PLUS, DoodleBug and Gibbsterrific will come by this morning on their way to practicum. How in the world did I get so lucky?!

Next up is a HUMP DAY HOP from Patrice at Everyday Ruralty called Chats on the farmhouse porch! Patrice made a very nice video for us this week! So hop on over there and check it out! And she's maybe making us another one soon featuring Wendell who is only the bestest horse in the whole wide world!

Questions:

Stephanie asks, "What kind of competitions do you prefer to watch? Dancing, singing, or cooking? When Deanie was dancing competitively, dancing competitions were my favorite. And our lives for YEARS. When DoodleBug was in band, band competitions were my favorite. And our lives for YEARS. All other competitions were sports related and they remain my favorites to this day. And number one on that list is FOOTBALL!

My Kid's Mom asks, "Do you work? Are you retired? Are you a stay at home mom?I was a stay at home mom for 25 years. Best thing I've EVER done! I worked as an interventionist in the elementary school the lovelies attended for a few years after they were all moved out until the funding ran out. Now, I am a stay at home dog owner and wife trying to find my purpose in an empty nest.

Empty Nester asks, "What's your favorite thing about winter? The cold weather that gives us relief from the heat and kills the bug eggs so the bugs aren't so bad in the summer. Except that this year winter forgot to show up.

Homeschool on the Croft asks, "What do you love most about where you live?" The smell of the salt air; the nearly constant breezes; the sound of the fog horns on foggy days; the sound of the waves crashing on really windy days...it's hard to narrow it down.

Did you or your children(grandchildren too) ever have a dollhouse? I had a Barbie house. The lovelies had a dollhouse. Several actually. And I may have enjoyed them as much as the lovelies did!

Wendell asks, "If horses have blankets, why don't they get a pillow too?" Wendell, o most wonderful horse, you come on down to SC and I'll give you a pillow to go with your blanket! :)

We love Count of Monte Cristo too-that's a good one. I sent my student daughter a box for Valentines Day and included some 'teacher stuff'. It was so fun to shop for and took me back to my early days of teaching when you needed to collect stuff for your classroom. She doesn't have a lot of storage space right now so I can't go too crazy until she moves into a new apt this summer.

Good Morning! I'm adding some of the movies mentioned to my netflix list. As the mother of three sons, I missed a lot of lovey-dovey stuff when they were growing up. They weren't interested and I was too tired to stay awake for a movie then anyway! Also, what gluten free crust do you like? Have a great day!

I stopped by to chat on the porch! I poked around your blog because I had to find out just where you lived; with the fog horns and potential bugs, and all! I used to live in Bluffton SC - 90 miles from Charleston. For a few years my job required that I travel to Charleston (and beyond) at least once a week! We were practically neighbors!Have a wonderful day! Inhale the salt marsh smell for me!

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

Let's share the laughs of midlife together!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!

I listed these gifts ideas back in May (Y'all can read that post HERE ) as good ideas for Empty Nest moms for Mother's Day but the...
